for my unstable family

[aprildawn]

My family has many problems and it is tearing us apart. the ones of us who talk don't really show emotion and we never say that we love each other. It starts with My father who is bi-polar and manic depressive, also he is a drug addict. I lived with him for 15 years while my parents were married and living with a person like that tends to screw you up pretty good. My sister is next; she is unintelligent and that would be fine exept she is not responsible she is addicted to prescribed drugs because of her back injury. She isn't able to take care of her son and when she does see him all she does is yell at him and talk baby talk.( this is a 2 year old I am talking about) For the first part of his life she was on hard core drugs like cocaine and crystal meth. She is a compulsive liar. She will lie about any thing, she told my family that she might have cancer when she was skinny form doin drugs. I have had my problems but I am getting help but my family is torn apart because of all this and more because I could write a book about all the things wrong with my family. Mostly I am just asking for anyone to keep my family and; Mostly my dad and my sister; in there hearts and minds because we seriously need help!!!

I will keep you in my meditations sweetie. I do know what it's like to live with such a codependent and screwed up family.

Thank you. I have recently made a definite decision to not have my father at my wedding. He has it in his head that I used to come and visit him every day and that I stole his drugs and stopped visiting him. I never used to visit him and I don't do drugs. I have been clean for quite some time thanks to my wiccan path. I have no idea what is in his head but I intend to have a classy wedding and make a good impression on my new inlaws and he just doesn't fit into that anywhere so I am just not going to have him there. I don't think he even knows that I am planning a wedding anyway.

Thank you . I really have come to a place where I don't care as long as the preacher and my fiance' shows up I really don't care what happens as long as I look pretty and I end up married to the man I love. The rest I can not control so why worry.

Everything will work out fine Aprildawn. I have negative people in my family and I just shut them out. I only see them on major family occasions, and that's very rare also. (((hugs)))
